Hi,
I'm applying for a new job. I've been offered 85k per annum for a different job and I'm looking to get the other job to match or beat this offer as this is the role I'd prefer. They have indicated they are willing to match this.
I'm trying to find the most efficient way to get the deal packaged, through salary alone or through a lower salary but with benefits. I've enquired about the possibility of getting a company contributed pension to take advantage of tax relief and they have been trying to sell me on the idea of a profit share scheme. (At the moment the profit share could be worth approx. 10k per year (10%) and this is more unlikely to decrease anytime soon).
Am I correct in thinking that taking the 85k straight as salary doesn't seem like the best option due to the amount of tax I will be paying? Would I be better off asking for say 65-70k plus 10% contributory pension plus the profit share? Or is there a better way to bundle this package?
Thanks for your help.
